2.5 System configuration via
BOOTP
When it is started up via BOOTP (bootstrap protocol), a device receives its
configuration data in accordance with the “BOOTP process” flow chart (see
fig. 13).
Note: In its delivery state, the device gets its configuration data from the
DHCP server.
Activate BOOTP to receive the configuration data (see on page 50 “Web-
based IP Configuration”), or see the CLI:
Provide the BOOTP server with the following data for a device:
# /etc/bootptab for BOOTP-daemon bootpd
#
# gw -- gateway
# ha -- hardware address
# ht -- hardware type
# ip -- IP address
# sm -- subnet mask
# tc -- template
